Saved by Her hustle.

The southern bound mail train on the
Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad came
near killing a young lady on Friday.
Just beyond Margettsvile the road runs
for some distance through kind Of
swamp, which is favorite place for
fishing. Miss Noni jacques was sitting
on the embankment indulging in the
seductive work of angling for cells when
the mail came laundering along. There
was enough room for her to remain in
safety where she was, but with the
usual non. presence of mind which gem
orally prevails on such occasions she got
up and started across the track. The
engineer did his best to stop his train,
but was unable to Go so. The locomo-
tive struck Miss Jaques and hurled her
from the track. The train was stopped
and backed to the place where she WAS
supposed TO be lying mangled corpse.
The trainmen and passengers, however,
were amazed to find very much fright
ened and exceedingly angry young lady
who had escaped all injury except hav-
ing the back of her dress torn out, hav-
ing been saved from death by her bus
Norfolk Vuginian.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at j. G..
Gibson's Drug Store as their giving
away to their customers of so many free
trial bottles of DR.. Kings New Discove-
ry for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable
article from the fact that it always cures
and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and ali
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

to retire from public view. President
Garrett announced in a letter just before

THE Ohio State Democratic conven-
ton at Cleveland las; week nominated
General Thomas +. Powell for Gov
ernOr. The platform adopted by the
convention has the true ring when it
speaks of the administration and of the
great necessity for tariff reform. We
quote from it as follows:
The Democratic party in convention assem-
bled proclaims its hearty and unqualified in
dorsement of the honest. patriotic and eco
nomical administration of President Cleve-
land.
We demand such Judicious reduction of the
present burdensome tariff as shall result in
producing revenue sufficient only to meet
the expenses OF an economical administra-
ton OF the government, the payment of lib
eral pensions to Union soldiers and sailors
and the payment of the interest and princi-
pal of the public debt; and, If necessary, we
favor such reduction OF internal revenue
taxes, except on liquors, as will prevent the
accumulation OF surplus in the national
treasury; and we denounce any attempt to
abolish the tax on liquors for the purpose OF
keeping up the present unjust, unequal and
onerous tariff system.

THE New York World is paper that
all good Democrats should beware of.
1t is Republican wolf in a Democratic
sheepskin. 1t fights bitterly President
Cleveland and his administration, it is
now doing all it can against the De-
mocracy of Ohio, and to come nearer
home it espoused the cause of the bolt
ing element in our own State of West
Virginia, and does not hesitate to print
the most malignant falsebooGs about
some of our truest Democrats. The ed
itor, Joseph Pulitzer, is said to be das-
tardly Hungarian, who has assumed
various discreditable roles in this coun-
try. The New York Star says he was a
bounty-jumper during the war; he has
been roustabout, it is asserted, on the
Mississippi steamboats, and waiter in
second.class restaurants in The South.
Somehow or other he has become the
proprietor of great paper which his
small soul uses for ignoble ends. Des-
pissed by his contemporaries generally,
none Of them should be reluctant to
show up his true character and to ex-
pose his malignant purposes.

IT is said that the reason there are so
many failures and backsets in the i'm
portant work of making guns at the
Washington Navy Yard is because the
Republican officials there are doing all
in their power to embarrass and make
trouble for the Democr attic adminstra-
ton. The bitterest Republicans have
the most responsible positions, and they
don't want to make the work success.
Secretary Whitney has the remedy in
his own hands, but he don't seem to APP
ply it.

DURING the year ended June 30. 1887,
4S3, JIG immigrants landed in the United
States, being 154 .22l more than the pre-
vious year. OF this enormous number
of people comparatively few will be-
come desirable citizens, for it is a fact
that the immigration this year has been
composed of the scum of the world
paupers, beggars, criminals, and out
casts generally-and their admission to
our country is doing vastly more harm
than good. If Congress will do its duty
by passing restricting laws the next
year will show falling off from the
above figures.
